My mom loves the OT. My wife hates Star Wars, and in particular The Old Republic because of the amount of hours I ended up playing the damn game.

okay so will they buy the dvd's or the games or the toys of the new trilogy. sorry guys if you thought i was sexist but i was looking at this new trilogy from a buisness point of view, and the fact is that a lot of girls may like the movies, but they will not buy the dvd's, games or toys. But boys will

Both will spend a lot of money on buying Star Wars related items, even though they will not see the movie more than once. Between my daughter and I, my wife knows we love Star Wars gifts.

well i do have two boys, they just dropped out of the sky. Its crazy huh?

If you have two sons, you really need to be paying more attention to this topic. Good lord, please don't raise your sons with this absurd perspective on gender.

this is a star wars site. not a topic about life. i am looking at this from a buisness point of view, the fact is boys love star wars more than girls[ the proof is on this website, how many girls are here] you will not see a group of teenage girls see this movie, you will not see teenage girls playing star wars games.

Someday, when you maybe possibly get to smell (or even touch!!!) a girl, you may be shocked to find out what they are actually into. It's rather obvious why you are in the dark on such matters presently, though, so nobody can fault your vapid banality.

At this point, it's easier to believe that you kidnapped them from a grocery store parking lot.

"A group of teenage girls" is basically exactly how I saw all six Star Wars movies. If you really think women aren't playing video games, you really need to pay more attention.

This forum was around way longer than February of 2013, my friend, It's been here since the late 90s, and it's been populated by plenty of women.

So wait, by that logic, those women must be more passionate about Star Wars than you.

really?!?!?! its populated by women?!?!?! i can only see one, darth claire

While I would agree that there are a great number of female fans, I would also say that there is an excellent chance there are more males than females overall. I seriously doubt it is around 50/50 (as an earlier poster claimed). Although I am willing to admit that I could be wrong.

As a female Star Wars fan, let me assure you that I'm just as dedicated as the 'boys.' I mean, come on, I dress up in stormtrooper armor in my free time...to help children. That has to count for something, right?

You really need to step out of the dark ages and take a look at the larger picture.

No this has nothing to do with merchandising just an excuse to share all you're ignorant and offensive views with all of us. I have a hard time believing you've ever met a real woman. If you had you'd have more respect for them.

Yeah, I agree. Star Wars films are for boys! And boys dont like girls. I mean, what boy would want to see a hot chick running around in tight clothing yielding a lightsaber? That would be awful!!

*facepalm.

While I would prefer a male lead, I could live with a female lead as long as she doesn't fit your suggestion of a hot chick running around in tight clothing. This isn't me saying I want the complete opposite. It is me saying I don't want a sexualized female lead. The character you just suggested is one whose whole purpose is her body. Can there be female characters that are attractive and in tight clothing, sure. However a female character that fits correctly with the storyline, is much better than one there just for her body. If you care just about how she looks then their is plenty of pron on the internet for you.

You need to open your eyes and mind, OP. I'm OLD and female: I own (bought 'em myself) the VHS, SE on VHS, DVD and now blurays. Have a lot of the books & comics, some of the "toys" - oh, you got me, I'm not into ANY games so I have no games. Saw ANH and ROTS in the movies like 20 times each (granted, in college with the town having only one theater, ANH was very easy to see multiple times).

We females are under no obligation to present ourselves to you as a "count" but there are plenty of women involved in SW.

*IF* you really are speaking of mass merchandise marketing (which doesn't seem likely), it is possible that more money is spent on behalf of boys, but nowhere to the degree I think you're claiming. For all you know, Disney bought Star Wars to bring in more female viewers/purchasers.

Gosh knows, when I got the dolls and all and my brother got the Lincoln logs and Legos, I wanted to play with "his stuff" just as much as my own. I was embarrassed, but daring enough, to check out "The Boys Sherlock Holmes" from the library, half fearing they'd deny a girl the chance to read the book.

If you let "it's been that way" dominate what "is possible" - you're limiting a lot of possibilities.
